Lights and Vision

@- Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this posi-
tion longer, the wipers switch from slow wiping
to fast wiping.
© - Clean the windshield ©. The wipers wipe one
time after several seconds of driving to remove
water droplets. You can switch this function off
by moving the lever to position ©) within 10 sec-
onds of the afterwipe. The afterwipe function is
reactivated the next time you switch the ignition
on.
Clean the headlights*. The headlight washer sys-
tem* operates only when the low beam head-
lights are on. If you move the lever to position
©, the headlights and the night vision assist
camera* are cleaned at intervals.
@ - Wipe the rear window \. The number of
wipes depends on the windshield wiper move-
ment.
The rear wiper automatically switches on when
the reverse gear is selected and the front wind-
shield wipers are on and running.
- Clean the rear window @. The number of
wipes depends on how long the lever is held in
position (8). This may also clean the rearview
camera, depending on the vehicle equipment.

Z\ WARNING
— The rain sensor is only intended to assist the
driver. The driver may still be responsible for
manually switching the wipers on based on
visibility
conditions.
— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Under unfavorable conditions, such as wet-
ness, darkness, and when the sun is low,
these coatings can cause increased glare,
which increases the risk of an accident. They
can also cause wiper blade chatter.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 51, Cleaning or replacing
the wiper blades.

() Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be switched off (lever in
position @). This prevents the wipers from
switching on unintentionally and causing
damage to the windshield wiper system.
Gi) Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor
function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
—The washer fluid nozzles for the windshield
washer system are heated when the ignition
is on if the outside temperature is low.
—When stopping temporarily, such as ata
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.

The rearview camera can only detect the area
marked in red > fig. 99. Only this area is dis-
played on the upper display. > A\.

Z\ WARNING
There are areas that the cameras cannot de-
tect. Objects, animals, and people may only
be detected with limitations may not be de-
tected at all. Always monitor the traffic and
the vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

® Note
— Obstacles may disappear from the detection
area when approaching them, even if they
were already detected. Under certain cir-
cumstances, the detection and display of
certain surfaces and objects may be limited:
— Items and objects above the coverage
area, for example cars parked bumper-to-
bumper, half-open garage doors, or hang-
ing objects that do not touch the ground
— Low obstacles
—Thin or narrow objects, such as barrier
chains, foliage, poles or fences
— Projecting objects, such as trailer draw
bars
— Objects with certain surfaces and struc-
tures, such as fabric
@® Tips
— The coverage areas of the cameras > fig. 98
and > fig. 99 are diagrams and do not repre-
sent a true-to-scale image of the camera
coverage areas.
— Make sure all the cameras are clean, free of
snow and ice, and are not covered by stick-
ers, deposits or any other obstructions, be-
cause this may impair the function of the
systems. Follow the information about
cleaning > page 263.
— The camera can shift from an accident, man-
ual force, impacts, or from damage to the
radiator grill, bumper, wheel housing or un-
derbody. Have an authorized Audi dealer or
126
authorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
—The function of the cameras may be limited
when light and visibility conditions are poor,
for example when driving into a tunnel,
when there is glare, or when there are re-
flective objects.
— Use the image on the display to assist you
only if it shows a good, clear picture. For ex-
ample, the image may be affected by the
sun shining into the lens, by dirt on the
lens, or if there is a malfunction.
— The camera view on the display portrays an
enlarged and distorted image. Under cer-
tain circumstances, objects may appear dif-
ferent and unclear on the display.

Night vision assist
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist
Night vision assist helps you when it is dark by
using an infrared camera to monitor the area in
front of your vehicle, within the limits of the sys-
tem. It can display objects up to a distance of ap-
proximately 1000 feet (300 m).
Pedestrian and wild animals are detected by
measuring the temperature difference between
the object and the background. Pedestrians and
wild animals will not be detected if the tempera-
ture difference is too small. The pedestrian and
wild animal marking feature is deactivated at
temperatures above approximately 77 °F (25 °C)
and when it is light outside.
The thermal image detected by the camera is dis-
played in the instrument cluster. Warm areas
generally appear lighter and cold areas appear
darker.
The camera for the night vision assist @)
=> page 125, fig. 98 is located in the vehicle's ra-
diator grille. Make sure the night vision camera is
not covered by stickers, deposits, or any other ob-
structions because this can impair the night vi-
sion assist function. Follow the information
about cleaning > page 263.

ZA\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— Night vision assist can only detect pedes-
trians and wild animals located within the
range of the infrared camera.
— Night vision assist cannot detect pedes-
trians or wild animals and mark them if:
— They are not in an upright position, for ex-
ample if they are sitting or lying down
and/or
— The silhouette in the display appears in-
complete or interrupted, for example be-
cause the pedestrian is partially behind a
vehicle or an animal is partially covered by
tall grass.
— Never attempt to swerve around animals if
doing so would endanger you or other road
users.
(i) Tips
— Even though the system evaluates the

Marking and warning
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist

Fig. 103 Instrument cluster: pedestrian marking and
warning (diagram)
Highlighting detected pedestrians and wild
animals
Within the limits of the system, the night vision
assist can detect pedestrians and wild animals
that are between approximately 32 feet (10 m)
and 295 feet (90 m) in front of the vehicle and
132
within the detection zone. Animal recognition is
not active within highly developed areas. The sys-
tem only detects large wild animals such as deer.
When it is dark outside and the low beams are
switched on, detected objects are marked in yel-
low @), within the limits of the system.
Pedestrian and wild animal warning
This system limits are based on the vehicle speed
and steering angle. Pedestrian and wild animal
warning encourages you to pay more attention.
If there are pedestrians or wild animals in front
of your vehicle that could pose a danger, the sys-
tem will direct your attention to this.
— Pedestrians or wild animals are highlighted in
red in the instrument cluster (2) and the J or
BAN symbol turns on @.
— When the head-up display* is switched on, the
additional indicator [AM or EM appears.
—Achime will sound if something is detected.
— If the night vision assist thermal image is re-
placed by another display (such as the on-board
computer), the red A or wA indicator light will
appear if there is a pedestrian or wild animal
warning.
The Ski symbol will appear when pedestrian and
wild animal detection is not available.
Marking light*
To direct the driver's attention to a pedestrian,
the headlights can flash on the pedestrian when
there is a pedestrian warning.
This occurs at speeds above approximately
35 mph (60 km/h) if you are outside of illuminat-
ed areas and no detected vehicles are shown. The
marking light is not used for wild animals. The
high beam assistant* controls the marking
light*> page 45.
